Ministry of Transportation projects
A Ministry of Transportation (M.T.O.) project is underway for Highway 401 rehabilitation and long-term widening needs from Brock Rd. to Courtice Rd.
As part of this project, M.T.O. has hired a consultant, W.S.P., to complete the detailed design for the replacement of the Simcoe St. S. and Albert St. underpass structures in Oshawa. The need to replace these structures with wider structures was identified through the Ministry's Environmental Assessment process in order to accommodate the future widening of Highway 401 through Oshawa.
Tree clearing and utility relocation in the area is already underway or completed throughout the area.
Construction of the structure replacement is anticipated to begin in 2023 and be phased over the 2023/2024 construction seasons.
As a result of the wider and longer bridges, there will be grade changes that will require Lviv Blvd. to end in a cul-de-sac at at Simcoe St. S.
